Just call this thing a Hespeler Sceptre, as it was King Wayne’s royal instrument in the final stage of his reign as The Great One, when he carried it up ice for the Rangers. The blonde fiberglass Hespeler HMP 5500 “Stiff” model, which is amazingly light and must have felt like a stick of butter in his strong hands, is 54” from black “Gripper”-covered knob and lower handle to black tape-wrapped blade. Great bonus is the profound NRMT signature of the man himself above the blade in black marker reading, “Wayne Gretzky #99”. Stick shows nice use especially at the lower end, with marks, paint residue and dirtying on the tape around the blade. Terrific Gretzky stick.
